Her tongue-in-cheek agony column Dear Kitty was nominated for Best New Blog in the Manchester log Awards and her short stories have appeared in The Flash (Social Disease) and Liverpool publication SevenStreets.

She has a Master's degree in English Literature and has spent more time immersed in the works of Philip Larkin than is strictly healthy.

She lives in Manchester with her partner.
